Seafood in the summer

Whenever I indulge in fresh seafood, I am transported to a time and place that I will not soon forget.

My drive to the Maritimes, many years ago, taught me to appreciate the great taste of fresh seafood in the summertime. If you have ever experienced the taste of mussels, lobster or even thick chowder fresh from the East Coast, you will agree that nothing is more delicious!

Eating seafood in the summer has since become a tradition of mine. Preparing seafood at home doesn’t have to be intimidating. Make it fun with our kitchen toys, and don’t forget to get grilling with our Weber fish basket.

The filleting knife by Zwilling J. A. Henckels makes it easier to prepare a fresh fish in the kitchen or at the camp ground; Restaurant quality fillets in the comfort of your own space.

Zwilling Pro 7 inch Fillet knife

by Zwilling J. A. Henckels

Properly filleting a fresh fish involves making a clean cut along the spine of the fish to remove the skin, and cutting away the back bone without cutting through the delicate bones.

With the thin, flexible blade of the Zwilling Pro Fillet knife this is easily achieved, along with a bit of practice.

The blade is strategically engineered to make it easy to reach places that are impossible to get to with a standard kitchen knife. Having the right tools minimizes the effort required to obtain the best quality results.
